Where AI form filling goes wrong on Form 69-001

Form 69-001 asks for the same kinds of details several times over: three addresses, a list of people, a block for every site and a row for every cultivar. Grower files hold old certificates, parcel records and payment slips that look like answers. These are the common places AI tools and autofill get it wrong. What the form requires is for the California Department of Food and Agriculture to say. Follow its instructions. CDFA instructions for Form 69-001.

GPS coordinates written with N and W

Site records often give coordinates as “38.712406 N, 122.018733 W”, or list a gate or well beside the growing area. The form asks for decimal degrees, and software can copy the letters, drop the minus sign on the longitude, or take the wrong point.

The field’s size, not the parcel’s

Legal descriptions and parcel records carry the whole parcel’s acreage, and greenhouses are measured in square feet. Software can copy the parcel’s acreage as the growing area, or put a square-foot figure beside the Acres box.

Names in Last, First, Middle Initial order, and only the real key participants

Rosters list names as written, the form asks for “Last, First, Middle Initial”, and the file also names a consultant and a bookkeeper. Software can copy names as written, drop the applicant because she is marked Self, or add people who aren’t key participants.

Cultivars kept with their own site

Cultivar records list several sites in one table, often with state abbreviations or just “United States” as the origin. Software can run one site’s cultivars into another’s rows, or fill a vague origin.

Two different numbers for the fee

The form prints the fee, the intake says what was sent, and the check and money order in the envelope add up to something else. Software can copy the printed fee or the note and fill a number nobody checked.

An old registration number on a new application

Grower files keep old registration certificates. Software can copy the old number into Previous Registration #, or mark Renewal because a certificate exists, even when the registration lapsed and this is a new application.

How Fyllyo takes care of them

With a test client and seven documents (the application intake, a 2023 registration certificate, the key participant roster, a site schedule, cultivar records, a payment record and a signing record), Fyllyo filled 65 fields in 37 seconds. It left the fee for the preparer with both amounts, and kept the old registration number off the form.

Fyllyo's review of a test Form 69-001: registration fees submitted left empty with the note that the documents give two different amounts, 900 and 850.
  • GPS coordinates written with N and W. Reads the center of the growing area, keeps every decimal, and turns a west longitude into a negative number.
  • The field’s size, not the parcel’s. Reads the size documented for each site with its own unit. In the test, that was 12.5 acres and 6,000 square feet, not the 40-acre parcel.
  • Names in Last, First, Middle Initial order, and only the real key participants. Writes each name as last name, first name and middle initial, keeps the applicant on the roster with her title, and lists only the people the roster names, each with their own criminal history option.
  • Cultivars kept with their own site. Fills each site’s cultivars in that site’s rows and leaves the origin for you when a record says only “United States”.
  • Two different numbers for the fee. Adds up the payments it finds and compares them with the amount the notes give. In the test they differed, so the fee was left empty with both amounts.
  • An old registration number on a new application. Takes the registration type from the current application, fills the previous registration number only for a renewal, and shows you the number it kept off.
